Hi, I’m Eddie Cayce. I’m a junior interior designer with a top Seattle design company. Or at least I was last week. Now, I’m home in New Orleans. A place I left as soon as I chose my college. I never have looked back. It’s not that I don’t love my family, I do. They are just a lot. And the Androdic family was well known for running most of the fortune telling shops in the area. In prior generations, we’d been called griftors. Now, my brother Nic is trying really hard to clean up the family name. According to what he’s told me, it’s a work in progress.

I was named after THE Edward Cayce. We’re related on my mom’s side somehow. And, with the name, I also got another gift. I can talk to ghosts. That’s one of the reasons I moved to Seattle. Not as many spirits hang around new buildings, but there were some visitations. I was just able to avoid the incidents better there. Here, I see ghosts on the street, in my hotel, and even in the antique stores I’m looking at purchasing.

My dream is to open a new design shop and antique store hopefully in the French Quarter. I came home for my grandmother’s funeral and now I’ve got an inheritance that will allow me to actually make my dream possible. And, another inheritance that I didn’t expect.

Now, I have to deal with an angry family member as well as find a shop to buy. It’s all a little overwhelming but I know I can do it. Or at least, I think I can. Nic wants me to help him make the family respectable.. I just want to live my own life. I’m beginning to miss Seattle.

Life here in New Orleans is going to be interesting.
Eddie

I see ghosts, but I do my best to ignore them.

When Eddie Cayce returned home to New Orleans from her carefully built Seattle life, it’s not just for her grandmother’s funeral. She’s home to stay. More to the point, now that she’s broken it off with the almost fiancé and quit her corporate junior designer position over one too many trainings on how to run a copier, she has no reason to return.

With the money she’ll receive in her inheritance, she can finally open the antique store she’s always dreamed of – that as long as her ability to see ghosts stays dormant. In Seattle, her gift had dwindled down to seeing the occasional ghost during her morning runs in her Queen Anne neighborhood. But here? New Orleans is filled with the visitors, as her grandmother always called them. And now, they are finding Eddie and want to chat. Especially about the murder.

Can Eddie carve out a real life here among the spirit world?
